what happened to csgo

According to the search results, there have been significant changes to the game Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO). On September 27, 2023, Valve released Counter-Strike 2, which replaced CS:GO permanently. Players who owned CS:GO items, including gun skins, were able to keep them as they were transferred to Counter-Strike 2. However, players cannot play competitive matchmaking in CS:GO anymore, but they can play offline with bots. CS:GO is no longer available on Steam, and its Steam page has been replaced by Counter-Strike 2. Players can still play CS:GO as a "beta" build within the Steam Properties menu for Counter-Strike 2, but it is labeled as "csgo_demo_viewer- 1.38.7.9". The release of Counter-Strike 2 has caused controversy among the CS:GO community, with some players expressing their desire to have CS:GO back.
